Blair Peach

Took a long time for this to finally come out ... I remember this demo very well, a lot of RAR people there.

The SPG were always a bit nasty and a mate of mine who was in the force told me some pretty naughty stories about them over the years.

    Well it was covered up for 31 years!

    In all seriousness, a report written at the time concluded a police officer probably struck the fatal blow, they were fairly sure which van the officer came from and had a list of officers they thought could be responsible.
    Due to a cover up nothing was done.
    Now it's thought to be too late to prosecute I imagine.

    What a bloody shambles.

    So much for accountability. It looks like someone literally got away with murder...

    At least lessons have been learned, processes have been put in place and nothing like that could happen today.
